Yum Brands Earnings Preview:
YUM reports tomorrow after the close. Fundamentally it is bearish. I scored it at 3 out of 10. Also, it missed three of the last four earnings, and six of the last seven revenue estimates. So it is not doing good at this time.
Technically it is bearish. See chart below.
So I will buy November Put plays before the report. I hope to see it move as high as possible going into the report.
Monsanto Earnings Preview:
MON reports before the open on Wednesday. Fundamentally it is bullish. I scored it at 9.5 out of 10. Also, it beat thirteen of the last fifteen earnings report.
Technically it is bullish (see chart below). Also note that it has been in a strong downtrend for about fourteen weeks (with a midway three-week bounce). This is a bullish sign for earnings, but no guarantees.
So I will buy November Call options. I prefer it to YUM.
